If You Could Reduce Price while Improving Margins, Would You?

A very inter­est­ing devel­op­ment, one that reminds me of Amazon’s Kin­dle Fire strat­e­gy. Fork an “open source” OS and cre­ate the expe­ri­ence your cus­tomers want.

By putting lin­ux on an ultra book, Dell has a win­ner. Not one that has a huge mar­ket right now, but I hope they see the longer term strat­e­gy here.

This could make Dell more com­pet­i­tive with Apple, and cre­ate an expe­ri­ence that makes it eas­i­er for peo­ple (con­sumers) to adopt Lin­ux. And, if we’re lucky, it’s anoth­er crack in Microsoft’s stran­gle­hold on desk­top com­put­ing inno­va­tion.

It's a quick read, and, if you can believe it considering that it's a book on investing, fun.

If you're looking for a simple and successful investing strategy, one that's purposely designed to keep you motivated, The Elephant's Paycheck is for you. And if you're already an accomplished investor, this book is likely for your spouse or your children so that they can become interested in what you're doing with the family's wealth.
